Tomatillo Seeds
How to Sow:
- Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep.
- Spacing: Keep a distance of 60-90 cm between plants to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
Gardening Tips:
- Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Support: As tomatillos grow, they may require staking or caging to support their branches and fruit.
- Companionship: Planting tomatillos near other vegetables like peppers can be beneficial as they have similar care requirements.
Fertilizer Use: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer before planting. During the growing season, use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to promote fruiting. Avoid excessive nitrogen as it can lead to more foliage and fewer fruits.
How to Protect from Pests:
- Mulching: Use mulch to retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth.
- Natural Remedies: Neem oil or insecticidal soap can be used to control common pests like aphids and whiteflies.
- Companion Planting: Planting basil or marigolds nearby can help deter pests.
Harvesting Time Period: Tomatillos are typically ready to harvest 75-100 days after sowing. The fruits are mature when they fill out the husks and the husks begin to split. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous production.
Health Benefits: Tomatillos are low in calories and high in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. They support immune health, improve digestion, and help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. The antioxidants in tomatillos also protect against oxidative stress.
